insect and bones

For its first collection, DU Manille wants to pay tribute to fearless individuals who are self-confident, and who are not afraid to strip themselves to the bone. So why is it called Insects&Bones?

‘Bones’ is one half of the ‘Insects & Bones’ theme, which stands for the act of expressing one-self without fear of judgment. ‘Insects’ on the other hand, is a standing metaphor for fear and disgust—the default reaction to those who dared to challenge conventions and norms. Together, the two merges the two significant points that represent the people that DU Manille typifies.

With revealing cuts and silhouettes that flatter the body, this collection underlines and accentuates the audacity of any wearer’s character, adding to it some edge. DU Manille launches a collection composed of various white tops with minimal prints, as well as black tops with an assortment of cutouts, which all aptly coincides with the label’s design aesthetics.
